Ah, no you won’t. You’ll just end up blocking even more people.

Just read one of the Bristol Post's Rovers articles, it's actually "18" not "14" either OOC or returning to their parent clubs.

When are they going to realise that they need to set up a proper Academy and at the very least a Under 21 team that will provide players for their future 1st team.

Using us as an example (something they are very keen to do constantly), where would we have been over the last 4 seasons without the Academy players during a period of enforced austerity? I dare say, it would have been L1...

Without a firm foundation to the club (through an Academy) their policy of short term contracts and journeymen is doomed to failure in L1. It works in L2, where money pretty much guarantees promotion (with 4 going up). It certainly doesn't work the higher up you go in the football pyramid where a need for continuity and development is more essential. 

We are their Academy. It’s just that the gestation period is longer. They have to wait until one of our former players is in his mid-thirties, well settled in the local area, before they harvest. I wouldn’t mind betting that, sometime before he hangs up his boots, Marlon is offered a contract there. 

Reported by the BBC now. 

Just so I’m clear … Disney are filming a follow on to Coronation Street in South Bristol?

If Mark Ashton was a football manager he'd be Russell Martin. 

If Russell Martin was a CEO he'd be Mark Ashton. 

Just my bloody luck to end up with an Ashton Martin. 

Here we go again …

Russell Martin . A ego on legs. What a arrogant cock 

I’ve never liked him, then twice in one minute, he referred to us as “Bristol”. I now like him even less.

The longer this goes on, the better I rate our performance.

Saints bossing WBA in the way I feared they’d boss us. Have to credit our management team and players for the all round excellence of our very performance.

Another night where the ref’s having a mixed night!

He was is still pining after Nige in fairness.

Fine lines. If a goal hadn’t resulted, he’d have been pilloried by the travelling fans and Hull would have likely lost the match. Instead he’s a hero for them, a genius and they won. 

Just now, Open End Numb Legs said:

There must be pillar restricted views on some of those new stand seats?

(If they are lucky )

Yeah, but the pillars are going to be removed soon aren’t they? 

I been watching Stoke v QPR. Two poor teams. Other than Chair, QPR have nobody playing worthy of note … so we know how Saturday’s going to go, don’t we?!

Or they could’ve been getting shit* from the fans** for being 2 down which might explain why Monotone Matt decided to go over and say what he said.

* louder grunting than usual.

** it’s what they do…

 

Only 386 of them. Othered to attend. Surprised the manager could hear them. 

I love this comment from one the Saints fans “Not sure why people were clamouring for Sulemana to come on. So selfish that anytime he passes it looks like he doesn't want it to actually reach them.”

Outside the stadium or pub?

Pub.

The actual questions were decent. Just a bit of a strong accent which made her difficult to follow. 

Not seen her, but from the reaction of the players/managers a bit of a looker I suspect. Belly…calm down mate. Reckon if she interviewed him after every match he’d be the league’s top scorer. 

A Brazilian. Won’t say how I know … 

Portway P&R is the best option imo. Plenty of buses, very quick, cheap and efficient. Just be aware that the return bus stop is outside of The Robins.

You've rumbled me. I will freely admit that I wasn't sure at all if it was Hayden, Heydan, Haydan, Haydon, Haidon, or any other combination of vowels and consonants.

Knew it started with an "H" though.

It’s Hodown., y’all.

Don’t think this is what you are talking about but I have posted this on several occasions over the past few years. It came from the redevelopment documents way back when it was going through the planning process and shows the distribution of city season ticket holders across the region.

 

1) the data would have been generated when our number of season ticket holders were much lower

2) there is indeed a high volume of season ticket holders in the historical heartlands of south Bristol 

3) the 2nd and 3rd highest areas appear to be east and north Bristol, historically/arguably, areas where rovers would have pulled most of their support. That may still be the case but they are most definitely not ‘blue’ areas.

4) Gary morris is totally deluded 

Thought that the blue bits on the map must be their strongholds until I realised they were just the motorway numbers. 

Yes, it’s running …

Only Plymouth anywhere near us at the moment, followed by Exeter and maybe Swindon if the boundary stretches that far 

The comments from supporters of Chelsea, Celtic, Portsmouth, Ipswich, Swansea, Plymouth() and Swindon() to that thread make it clear that there is much disagreement from all around the country!
